The VPA is committed to gathering a strong voice on educational issues from school leaders and our members. This wiki will be used as a forum sharing ongoing, interactive comment on issues and challenges that are current in our schools. Whilst we believe the forum will start with Victorian perspectives, we hope a global community will form to share best practice, problem solving and innovation.

Thank you for the emails re supporting the fire victims, I am happy to help as needed. Our school students donated $800 in one day alone so people are certainly willing to help. I''ve been out at local fires All of our school communities have been impacted either directly or emotionally One of our families who has one boy in grade 6 and one in Year9 has come to me to suggest that schools might be able to take up a 'text book' collection to replace the books lost by so many students. This is a time where so many have come together to support - this is comforting at a time when 'community' is slowly disappearing. We have already started a gold coin donation through students and on Friday we are having a school community morning tea to raise further funds. My school council president left the school after assembly to take a car load of clothes, blankets, towels and sheets. It is amazing how communities come together to help those less fortunate. I am quite sure that some of our families would be happy to provide short term shelter if need be to families left without a roof for comfort, nourishment and rest. The issue becomes more acute after the initial rush has passed and more apparent three months on! Our school has already got our Junior Action Group in action organising a fundraiser to collect donations from the community. As a member of the CFA I understand the dangers of fire and over the past weekend. We will be putting in a fire water tank here at the school to ensure we have a 'safe place' not only for the students but for the whole community. If I or my school community can assist in any way please let me know... I am willing to travel to the affected areas and assist in any way. Thank you for reacting to the bushfire disaster in this way on behalf of the VPA - I am feeling for all these communities The rebuilding process will be long and arduous.
